Stardust
Twilight Melodies: Nostalgia and Longing in Connie Francis' Stardust
Lyrics
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Describing the evening time with a purple dusk.
Steals across the meadows of my heart
Expressing emotions as twilight crosses the heart.
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Noticing stars ascending in the sky.
Always reminding me that we're apart
Stars serve as a constant reminder of separation.
You wander down the lane and far away
Someone walks away, leaving a lasting song.
Leaving me a song that will not die
The song left behind symbolizes enduring emotions.
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
Love is now a distant, ethereal presence like stardust.
The music of the years gone by.
Reflecting on the music of past years.
Sometimes I wonder, how I spend
Contemplating how lonely nights are spent.
The lonely nights
The speaker wonders about the nights spent alone.
Dreaming of a song
Dreaming about a particular song.
The melody
The melody of the song lingers in thoughts.
Haunts my reverie
The song continues to occupy the speaker's daydreams.
And I am once again with you
A return to a moment when love was new.
When our love was new
Recalling the early stages of love.
And each kiss an inspiration
Kisses were once a source of inspiration.
But that was long ago
Acknowledging that these moments are in the past.
And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song
Seeking comfort in the memories encapsulated in song.
Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright
Imagining being together under a starlit sky.
You are in my arms
The presence of a loved one in arms when stars shine.
The nightingale
A nightingale narrates a fairy tale by a garden wall.
Tells his fairytale
The nightingale's tale includes a paradise with roses.
Of paradise, where roses grew
Describing a dream of a beautiful place.
Though I dream in vain
Admitting that the dream may be unattainable.
In my heart it will remain
Despite dreams being in vain, the feelings persist.
My stardust melody
A personal melody made of stardust and memories.
The memory of love's refrain.
The enduring memory of love's melody.
